Women's Health - February 2007

okay i have been on birth control for the past year. i know when you first start it you have symptoms but they are supposed to go away. well mine have not. I have tried several different types of birth control, the ring, the patch, and two different pills. none have helped. i am nauseus the whole time i am taking it except fot the placebo week. i am very irritable, and every month but one I got my period twice or even three times. my gyno is just as confused as me.

the issue is i feel i need to be on it because I am sexually active. myself and my boyfriend use a condom every time but accident do happen. and I know it only takes one accident. my son is living proof. i want to go off birth control but I am nervous about the obvious consequences. and there are many forms i cannot go on because I want to have more children someday and these could jepordize my fertility. should i risk it and feel normal again? or suffer? thanks all.

ok, my period used to be irregular, but for the last 5 or 6 months it started around the 10th day of every month.. i had my regular period around the 10th of january, and now for some reason i'm starting to bleed again, though at first its a little pink but then it gets brown.. i dont know if its my period just being irregular, or something else.. i dont think it would be spotting because its not light bleeding or anything.. it seems like the start of a normal period but its brown and pink i dont know what this is, has this happened to anyone else before?

Anyone out there who has endo + is in MEGA pain 90% of the month will understand this.I am being put on different medication every couple of months + having side affects to them and then taking more medication for the side affects.u go in to the doctors + say you need stronger pain killers + they ask u to lay on the bed while they poke at your abdominal area.Where it hurts anyway + they make it worse.They give u pain killers + send u packing.These pain killers more aless knock u out + then u have to go to work.A full time job that u need to pay ur bills.Then u walk in + ur employer says u look ill but they wont let u go home cause u have already had previous days off due to being so tired.u sit at ur desk in pain + some how manage to get through the day.Its home time u get home it takes double the time to get home due to pain or being drugged up + then u are to tired to eat or do anything + then just sleep.does any1 know of a endo specialist in the SE. Sorry about the anger.

I started new birth control in December and everything has been going well. Its a 21 day pack and I usually start my period on the Wednesday after the Saturday that I take the last pill. I should have started yesterday but I didn't.
I haven't had sex since October 2006 (yeah, a really long time ago!) and my period has been regular since then. Should I go see my doctor or am I just being a little worried over nothing?
I haven't had anything "weird" happening. I have had some light cramping but thats it. . .

Is it normal to be scared to have kids? To me childbirth looks like it will hurt so much, no matter how much medication they put on you. BUT I DO wanna have kids so bad. Me and my boyfriend talk about it a lot and I want it to happen...its just...I'm scared it'll hurt. And the fact that I know some women have died during childbirth. So my stress levels are way up!
Maybe in time as I grow older it'll fade away, but right now I say "fat chance!" I'm freakin out.

My significant other has been going through menopause. I'm trying to understand and be patient because I love this gal with all my heart, but I am running out of patience and feel guilty about it.

We were extremely physical for a long time when we first began our relationship. I've never experienced anything like it and am reluctant to let that part of our relationship go away. But it's not my choice. She doesn't seem to miss the intimacy. We've been active on rare occasions, but nothing like it was before, and I think when we are physical, she's doing it just for me. I don't want "mercy sex"...I want my lover back, or at least some of the passion we had.

I've tried to talk to her about it, but she gets offended and says I need a younger woman. I don't want anyone else but her...nothing else would compare. Sometimes I wish we wouldn't have met because you don't miss what you never had.

Help me please...I don't want to loose her, but I'm not dead yet.

I know stretch marks and pregnancy come hand in hand but does anyone know a way to keep them to the bare minimum?? How do these famous ladies get their flat, unmarked tummies after giving birth??

one nite last week i was in quite a deep sleep naked on my side. suddenly he felt like being naughty and licked my vulva. i didn't get much awake and anyway i kept my eyes closed as that's kind of comfortable. i was turned on some minutes later and prepared for having sex. but when i turned around i found my bf indeed has gone to pee and it's our dog eating me out down there..... i was so frightened and couldn't help screaming. it's so disgusting and i ran to have a thorough shower immediately. but psychologically it's never as clean as before....

since then my bf has refused to have sex with me (though only a week till now). i know what he's thinking. he must think that i'm still dirty. i'm starting to worry too because i'm not sure if the dog has given me any strange diseases. would i possibly get any infection in that way? it just seems so weird and disgusting to go to the doctor because of this...?

I have been taking Phenteramine for the last 3 1/2 months. I had been on birth control until the last two weeks. My husband and I are wanting to have a baby sometime in the near future. Should I discontinue taking the Phenteramine immediately or can I wait until I find out I am pregnant if and when I do get pregnant?

I get a full nights sleep every night, but I am constantly tired. I could take a 3 hour nap every day. I eat a lot of carbs to stay energized but it doesn't really help. Can someone help me find a remedy to feel more awake?? Thanks.

Heres the facts:For 3 months i've had burning when i pee.Doctors thought it was bladder infection because there WAS bacteria, so i took antibiotics, 3 times! but it didnt go away.No STD's, not a yeast, not a bacterial infection.they did a cystoscopy and found nothing.There is no more bacteria..since i took the antibiotics but the burning is still there. I usually dont have frequency but sometimes do... One day it wont burn all day and the next it will burn for hours. I am not having sex. I am on Ortho tri cyclen birth control but started taking those pills after i had these symptoms so it cant be from that. My urologist says i should get this surgery that shows if i have interstitial cystitis. Other doctors don't think i have it,personally dont think i have it... WHAT ELSE COULD THIS BE!...it is unbearable when it starts burning. Also when i have frequency (which isn't all the time) it just drips out a little bit when i push the urine out. Its not the laundry detergent either.thoughts?
